I feel like Rowell indulged in over-acting during her time as Dru and CONSTANTLY tried to upstage her co-stars. She&#39;s a beautiful woman for sure, but she&#39;s more of a &#39;personality&#39;, than an actress - sort of like an African American Susan Lucci - style over substance.<br /><br />Tonya Lee Williams is, to me, far more impressive and captivating and should have had this slot. It&#39;s another case of popularity over talent. Tonya&#39;s Olivia is the real groundbreaking character, despite Nelson Branco&#39;s nonsense (how this sycophant has a column is something I&#39;ll never understand).<br />Bill Bell wrote Olivia to be the most qualified, educated, sophisticated and intelligent woman on Y&amp;R. SHE is the groundbreaking African American in daytime you should have singled out.<br /><br />Rowell suffers from major hubris about her. Recall the famous &#39;spitgate podcast interview&#39;, where she followed Brenda Dickson&#39;s delusional footsteps by claiming that she was SOLELY responsible for Y&amp;R&#39;s rise to Number 1 (sorry Victoria, it got that spot in 1988, two years before your debut) and then shockingly called the classy Peter Bergman a &quot;schizophrenic&quot;, just because he was concerned about her alienating herself from the show. <br /><br />She is, no doubt, unforgettable, with an infectious knack for comedy... but shouldn&#39;t this list be about actors and not entertainers?AdamTGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614379475739967231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-16152142740168074982010-02-05T18:18:00.185-05:002010-02-05T18:18:00.185-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.AdamTGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614379475739967231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-18995422345100620132010-02-05T18:09:46.334-05:002010-02-05T18:09:46.334-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.AdamTGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614379475739967231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-2239649737327394412010-01-12T00:20:45.450-05:002010-01-12T00:20:45.450-05:00Bravo!Bravo!TestaBloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16867531085107236880noreply@blogger.com
